The War God's Homecoming novel Chapter 153

Chapter 153 Trouble at the Dawson Family

"Goodbye!" Azure Fang waved his hand dismissively.

"Ah..." Sebastian Cook, seething with anger, let out a furious shout and swung his hand to the side.

Nearby stone pillars instantly turned into debris, and dust filled the air. Sebastian was on the verge of losing control over his anger.

He was well aware of Commander Gardner's standing in the hearts of many in the capital city. If anything happened to Commander Gardner, it would undoubtedly be a major event. Yet, now SHADOW was attempting to apprehend Ink Pavilion members related to the assassin case, and Sebastian's interference would cause him immense trouble once it reached the capital city. Even worse, everyone knew about the discord of his boss with Commander Gardner, and this situation could easily be exploited by someone who wanted to make it look like he had conspired with Ink Pavilion to harm a prominent war division member.

Sebastian now had thoughts of even killing Azure Fang.

Within the same day, nearly fifty foreign branches established by Ink Pavilion within the territory were completely seized, and thousands of peripheral members were arrested. Thus, all avenues of external communication for Ink Pavilion were completely eliminated.

...

That morning, just after Billy dropped off Tasha at the kindergarten and was about to get into his car, his phone rang. He picked it up to find an unfamiliar number.

"Hello, who is this?" Billy answered the call.

"Hello, are you Mr Gardner?" A slightly anxious voice of a young woman came through the line.

"I am. Who's calling?" Billy responded with a slight pause.

"It's Laura Dawson. Do you remember me from when you visited my house last time?"

"Ah, it's you, Laura. Of course, I remember. Is there something you need?" Billy recognized her immediately.

The woman was Laura Dawson, the granddaughter of Bartholomew Dawson from Ozin. She was present during Billy's visit to the Dawson family last time.

"Could... Could you spare some time today?" Laura Dawson hesitated for a moment before continuing, "My third uncle got injured, and it's pretty serious. I was wondering if you could help him..."

"Injured? How did he get injured?" Billy interrupted.

"... He was beaten up." Laura Dawson's voice sounded hesitant.

"What?!" Billy's eyebrows furrowed, "Shouldn't your third uncle be in the hospital? Send me the address, I'll be right there. We can talk once I arrive."

"Alright, thank you, Mr Gardner." Laura Dawson said gratefully.

After hanging up, she sent the hospital's address.

After setting up the navigation, Billy pressed the gas pedal. The Dawson family had done him a favor and thus their problems were his problems. Therefore, he wouldn't stand aside.

Half an hour later, Billy arrived at the eighth floor of Ozin's First Hospital.

"Mr Gardner, over here!" As he stepped out of the elevator, Laura Dawson rushed over.

"Laura!" Billy greeted her, "What's going on? Who injured your uncle?"

"The day before yesterday, two female classmates and I were having dinner at a restaurant. A guy wanted us to drink with him, but we refused. He forcefully dragged me into his private room," Laura Dawson's voice was filled with anger.

"At that time, my third uncle happened to be dining at the same restaurant. Seeing our situation, he got into a conflict with that guy."

"Later, the man called four bodyguards, and they beat him. They were extremely ruthless, breaking his right leg...," Laura Dawson choked up, "It's all my fault. I've caused trouble for my uncle..."

"Unbelievable!" Billy's eyes flashed with anger.

"Grandfather and father told me not to call you, to avoid bothering you." Laura Dawson continued to sob.

"But... today, the doctor said my uncle's leg injury is very serious. He's not in a condition to undergo surgery, and amputation is a possibility..."

"So, I... I secretly called you..."
